80% of organizations report employee misuse or abuse of access to business applications

New research released by CyberArk reveals that organizations continue to operate with limited visibility into user activity and sessions associated with web applications, despite the ever-present risk of insider threats and credential theft. While the adoption of web applications has brought flexibility and increased productivity, organizations often lag in implementing the security controls necessary to mitigate risk of human error or malicious intent. 

The survey of 900 enterprise security leaders found that 80% of organizations experienced employees misusing or abusing access to business applications in the past year. This comes as 48% of organizations surveyed said they have limited ability to view user logs and audit user activity, leaving a blind spot for catching potentially risky behavior in user sessions.
